rockyroad Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Has anyone here climbed the scar face route on goose egg in the Tieton Canyon ever? I am interested to know how the condition of the route is and what you thought of the climb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockyroad Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 Ah, thanks. My wife and I went up to climb it last weekend and didn't feel real comfortable with the looseness of the rock, especially after seeing that there were no hangers on the bottom bolts.. that being our first potential multi pitch and first time at goose egg, we thought it best to check with someone who has fairly recently done it. Thank you for posting, I feel confident enough to go give it a go now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevino Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) dirty sanchez is a fun and easy multi pitch route. Edited August 1, 2012 by kevino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattp Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I have never climbed there but from everything I've heard about loose rock on the top-out as well as the routes, Goose Egg would not be my recommendation for anyone's first multi-pitch climb. It looks awesome from the road and I look forward to climbing there but I'm guessing that newer climbers might be better served elsewhere.

Off_White Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I have climbed there, and I'll second Matt's caution. Its a good area to have a full bag of tricks, and you'll find more suitable first multi-pitch routes at Leavenworth or Index than Goose Egg. Its a good place, but you'd do well to think of it as adventure climbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
